Non-compact QED(3) with four-component fermion flavor content larger than or equal to two is studied numerically near the chiral limit to understand its chiral symmetry breaking features. We monitor discretization and finite size effects on…

We present numerical results for non-compact three-dimensional QED for numbers of flavors N_f=1 and N_f=4.In particular, we address the issue of whether chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken in the continuum limit, and obtain a positive…

Over the past few years three dimensional Quantum Electrodynamics (QED$_3$) has attracted a lot of attention, because it may be an effective theory for the underdoped and non-superconducting region of the phase diagram of high $T_c$ cuprate…

Non-compact three-dimensional QED is studied by computer simulations to understand its chiral symmetry breaking features for different values of the number of fermion flavors N_f. We consider the four-component formulation for the fermion…

While chiral symmetry breaking in the QCD vacuum is attributed to nonzero chiral condensate, an alternative symmetry breaking pattern with no chiral condensate is also possible, as pointed out by Stern. This hypothetical phase was excluded…

We present preliminary numerical results for the three dimensional non-compact QED with a weak four-fermion term in the lattice action. Approaches based on Schwinger-Dyson studies, arguments based on thermodynamic inequalities and numerical…

We present results from the first lattice simulations of three dimensional non-compact quantum electrodynamics (QED3) with N_f four-component fermion flavors coupled to a weak Z(2) chirally invariant four-fermi interaction. Results with…

We simulate Lattice QED in a constant external magnetic field using the RHMC algorithm. We seek evidence for chiral symmetry breaking predicted by truncated Schwinger-Dyson methods. Since the predicted values of the dynamical electron mass…

We study the phase diagram of non compact $QED_3$ using the $MFA$ method and present evidence for a continuous phase transition line at small $N_f$. We also analyze the chiral structure of the vacuum by means of the computation of the…

We study the structure of QCD at very large baryon density for an arbitrary number of flavors $N_f$. We provide evidence that for any number of flavors larger than $N_f=2$ chiral symmetry remains broken at asymptotically large chemical…

Previous analytical studies of quantum electrodynamics in $2+1$ dimensions (QED3) have shown the existence of a critical number of fermions for onset of chiral symmetry breaking, the most known being the value $N_c\approx3.28$ obtained by…

Spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in QCD with massless quarks at infinite volume can be seen in a finite box by studying, for instance, the dependence of the chiral condensate from the volume and the quark mass. We perform a feasibility…

Non-compact lattice QED is simulated for various numbers of fermion species $N_f$ ranging from 8 through 40 by the exact Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm. Over this range of $N_f$, chiral symmetry breaking is found to be strongly correlated…

Based on the AdS/CFT correspondence we study the breaking of the chiral symmetry in QCD using a simple five dimensional model. The model gives definite predictions for the spectrum of vector mesons, their decay constants and interactions as…

We present results from a Monte Carlo simulation of non-compact lattice QED in 3 dimensions in which an explicit anisotropy $\kappa$ between $x$ and $y$ hopping terms has been introduced into the action. Using a parameter set corresponding…

It was recently conjectured that, in SU(3) gauge theories with fundamental quarks, valence spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking is equivalent to condensation of local dynamical chirality and appearance of chiral polarization scale…

We present results of a Monte Carlo simulation of a three dimensional Gross-Neveu model with SU(2)xSU(2) chiral symmetry at non-zero baryon chemical potential mu, corresponding to non-zero baryon density. For mu sufficiently large there is…

We investigate the impact of finite volume effects on the critical number of flavours, N_f^c, for chiral symmetry restoration in QED3. To this end we solve a set of coupled Dyson-Schwinger equations on a torus. For order parameters such as…

Chiral symmetry breaking is calculated as a function of cooling in quenched lattice QCD. A non-zero signal is found for the chiral condensate beyond one hundred cooling steps, suggesting that there is chiral symmetry breaking associated…

We simulate QED in a strong constant homogeneous external magnetic field on a euclidean space-time lattice using the Rational Hybrid Monte Carlo method, developed for simulating lattice QCD. Our primary goal is to measure the chiral…
